Thandi - Saint John

When the server delivered a light beer, it tasted very weak and flavorless. I asked for another brand, but was told I still was required to pay for the one that was declined; restaurant policy. The markup on beer is sufficiently high $8.50 per glass) they could afford to replace an unsatisfactory product with one their clientele requests. I return the beer after one sip, and had to pay for the whole serving. A satisfied customer is the best advertisement. That would NOT be the case here.

Had a wonderful time with work buddies at Thandi.. The pan-asian menu is interesting and the food was well presented..

One word ... EXCEPTIONAL! Wow, the food and service were amazing. Keith our server was wonderful. And as for the food ... the chicken vindaloo was incredible: so much meat, fresh, very little potato padding, and a great sauce. I asked for extra spicy and oh boy it was exactly as requested: super spicy but it still had all the flavours.Note that every meal comes with rice and naan included, so on that basis it's great value. One criticism: the naans appeared to be shop-bought, not authentic, maybe they don't have a tandoor oven to make naans in house.BTW the wine is very reasonably priced!I cannot speak highly enough of the food and ambience (this place is in a gorgeous old brick building).See pics

We had a great meal at Thandi. I had their signature Butter Chicken and my wife had Chicken Saag. The Butter Chicken was marvelous. The Saag was a bit flat, but decent. Both dishes were accompanied with rice and naan, with generous portions and good value for the price. We would definitely return. The staff is courteous, prompt, and attentive. Good experience all around!

I love the atmosphere and vibe in this restaurant! But most of all, their dishes are sooo authentic!! Must try would be the chicken tikka masala with raita and spicy chicken noodles!
